Chad's HIV diagnosis came along with some personal challenges. Rather than allow them to stand in his way, he faced those challenges head on and broke through to a renewed life of family and community support, activism and self-care.
 

Every resident in our facilities works with a case mangers, who are all Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors. Residents also have access to occupational therapy and spiritual care.
 

Each year, we serve more than 35,000 meals to residents because good nutrition is linked to managing the disease of HIV/AIDS.
